Perhaps the most significant finding: "Thirty-six percent (36%) believe that, most of the time, scientists’ research findings are motivated by a desire to advance their own careers. Only 32% say that they mostly rely on the best scientific evidence. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe that political views of the scientists generally influence their work."

I have never seen a science need to be pushed so hard by politicians. Most science does not require professional liars hawking it non-stop, they simply make a statement and provide proof.
